Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

South AfricaThere was construction happening, even on Saturday which was noisy and I was not told about.
It is well situated and close to everything in town. It has large bedrooms each with on suite bathrooms. There is a nice outdoor seating area.

South AfricaWe really enjoyed our stay. The house is very comfortable and clean and had everything we needed, including comfortable bedding and clean towels. The rooms all have their own bathrooms and the kitchen is fully equipped with gas stove. There were lots of torches available for loadshedding. The binnebraai was especially useful as the nights were cold. The house is right on the canal with great views and has its own jetty. Checking in and out was easy and well communicated. Had some great meals at the nearby The Quays restaurant, which is a 10-15min walk away.

South AfricaThis is a stunning place. The photos don't do it justice. It has recently been renovated and is looking very smart. The bedrooms are large and beds comfortable. The whole place was perfectly clean. The entertainment area leads outside onto the dockside which is ideal on warms days/evenings. We enjoyed a potjie which we ate out on the waters edge. Another plus for us was that they had a dishwasher which makes things much easier. We also received our deposit the very next day. Thanks for an amazing time!

South AfricaToo disappointing! We arrived at dusk in time to prepare supper but the house was very untidy and not very clean -strange because of the list of rules we received prior to getting keys and which are conveniently pasted all over the house - some of the owners personal items were not put away. -the counter tops were greasy and not clean. cupboards were smelling and dirty and lots of chipped mixed cups and saucers. cutlery was covered in some type of sediment and again one in every design rather than a neat set. broken bottle openers and cork screw means we could not open our bottle of wine.. Then came bedtime and we found the linen was stained and smelling and we had to report back to the owners the very night we arrived. not ideal to be discussing cleaning processes when you meant to be relaxing. This is more frat house with basics - six double beds two of which are in the tv room upstairs. it’s great for large group of students and young adults but not a luxury getaway which the price tends to indicate. no luxury to be found here- no tea/coffee on arrival or soaps. in fact you will need to bring your own loo paper as only one per bathroom is provided. the owner did send her cleaner in the next morning to change bedding and wash all the crockery and cutlery.
This is a panel handle house located at the back old and deteriorating property but is located on the canal. unfortunately it does not come with a boat or canoe or dinghy which is the reason you want to be on the canals.

South AfricaIt was clear that it had not been lived in for a while . It was musty and had a lot of fishmoths and even fleas on the beds . This is possibly due to Covid . It should have had a thorough spring clean prior to it being rented out . If it was cleaned up properly, it would be an exceptional place to stay .
property has a great location with a beautiful view of the canal . it is well appointed . There was sufficient crockery , cutlery etc.
